This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the procurement of HC-144 Spare Parts by the US Coast Guard. The United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center intends to award a sole-source Indefinite Delivery Requirements type contract to Airbus US Space & Defense Inc. for critical spare parts supporting the HC-144 Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The contract will have a base year from 11/19/2025 to 11/18/2026 with four additional one-year option periods, continuing the previous contract which ends on 11/18/2025.

The procurement is highly specialized and technical, with parts specifically required from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Defence and Space SAU. A Sources Sought Notice was posted, resulting in three responses, with only Airbus US Space & Defense Inc. demonstrating the capability to meet the requirement. The engineering complexity and critical nature of the parts necessitate sole-source procurement, with the parts being essential for maintaining the structural integrity and operational readiness of the HC-144 aircraft fleet. The contract will be funded through Operations and Support funds for Fiscal Year 2026, with pricing determined using historical demand data and maintenance management information systems.
